Trainee Workshop: Networking for Success in Science
Location: Ratu Makutu Event Centre
Chair: Kristin Scaplen

Join us for an opportunity to introduce yourself and your science and
network amongst your peers before the start of the meeting. In
“Networking for Success in Science”, trainees will have a chance to
practice their scientific elevator pitches during a two-minute lightning talk
followed by informal small group discussions to facilitate crossdisciplinary
interactions and open windows for potential collaborations.
End the workshop with an energetic round of speed mentoring where
you can cycle through multiple five-minute Q&A conversations with
established IBANGS members and mentors in the field.
